Chromcast playback freezes randomly

[Dysan 2]

I've recently purchased a chromecast dongle for playback to my new TV.

Everything works perfectly, choose serie from phone connect to chromecast and start.

Only after 10 minutes the image freezes, audio continues, but after a minute or so everything goes smooth again.

but after a 5-10 minutes this repeates,

Looking in the admin console shows the transcoding bar (red) all the way to the end, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Lowering playback to 5 Mbit from chromecast doesn't solve the problem (does it need a server reboot??).

Playing back through media browser classic works flawless as is DNLA to LG TV (only no subtitles).

 

small update: Chromecast test on another network (through Internet) on professional grade WIFI (Aerohive) results in the same effect.

Chromecast session is started from a Nexu5/Acer Luiqid jade S

i've pushed an update to the Chromecast receiver. Please reboot your Chromecast device and then give it a shot. Let me know how it goes, and post the transcoding log from that. Thanks.

Seems to be working now, transcoding takes alot longer now, @ 75fps instead of immediatly done.

Dot you still need the transcoding logs?

Having similar a issue to the OP, except mine just completely freezes every 3-4 mins, how does one push an update to the chromecast receiver please ?

 

Just realised this is massively out of date lol

Thanks for responding, was waiting till I got another freeze and it just happened, so log is from immediately after the freeze, also having an issue with ASS subtitles as mentioned in the thread here
